@dustyj Always interesting when people critique a story they clearly didn’t read closely. Tammy’s quote wasn’t even a key one. And the piece wasn’t about picking “great campaigns,” it was about what’s actually happening in the market.

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

And just to be clear: two Digiday stories ran this week. Only one got singled out—mine. If we’re applying standards, let’s be consistent.

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

@jason_kint The DOJ remedies are undeniably important - no argument there. But calling the EU angle irrelevant is a reach. Even as a private suit, it signals where publisher pressure is heading and shows this isn’t just a US story. The industry isn’t operating in a vacuum, and

neither is Google.

Also, appreciate the “tip,” though not every piece is built to cover every angle. Most readers can follow more than one development at a time.

I’ve seen shared with my team. Fair to have standards, but they should be applied evenly.

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

@jason_kint Appreciate the perspective. Could I have focused more on the search remedy? Sure—and in hindsight, that may have added useful context. But it was an editorial decision to focus on what’s happening in the EU at this stage, especially given how the global implications

are starting to shape up differently. That said, if we’re going to publicly critique how stories are framed, I’d hope for a bit more consistency. It’s hard not to notice that some reporters get called out while others - sometimes covering similar ground - don’t, based on messages

@happensinadops I wasn’t taking it personally. Just making a point about your point. All good. And thanks for getting back to me.

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

@happensinadops …. actually going on curated deals. If you have any other issues about our coverage in future feel free to drop me a line after you vent on social. Thanks

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

@happensinadops Thanks for reading both articles. And also well done on the cute image - hope you got the engagement you wanted. We didn’t “connect them” since the trend of money coming out of openRTB was in play well before curation was a thing plus it’s still hard to say how much money is….

REMINDER:

Tomorrow I'll be moderating a Twitter Space chat with @haekafae, @TatianaMUFC, and @Har_FieCreative on the rise of anime as a marketing channel — and the growing connection between esports and anime — at 2pm ET. Looking forward to this one!

[Seb Joseph @seb_joseph]

@danackerman Cheap shot, but ok. We covered both angles. If you don't buy into one side's vp, that's fine, but our judgment was spot-on. Redirect your frustration towards those who claimed the article was wrong but avoided correcting the record when given the chance.

I wrote about the rise of anime as a cultural force — and marketing tool for brands like McDonald’s: https://t.co/Ue9eUT7iJB

ICYMI: Tune in at 3pm ET today to hear a discussion about the state of esports — and esports jobs — featuring me, @JacobWolf, and @Slasher. Jacob and Rod are bringing the hot takes, but call-ins are very welcome as well, so come join the conversation!

In the wake of January's layoffs, I spoke to @JacobWolf and other esports veterans about how working in the industry is going from a dream to a nightmare. https://t.co/ryOkt2U13Y

It's official: ESL/FACEIT Group is the new home of Overwatch esports.

It's the end of story of the Overwatch League — and a perfect time to tell the tale of how and why the league went wrong. Here's my oral history of the rise, fall, and future of the OWL:https://t.co/PheaKkKHhm
